I thought about using a cover crop. Our garden is not gigantic but is large enough to plant cover over in the Fall. The trouble I have with the idea of a cover crop though is I have raked the entire garden into hilled up rows. How am I supposed to mow down the cover crop then? I'd have to decide to flatten the garden landscape or knock the rows down before cover cropping and rake them back into shape in the Spring for planting. I do enjoy laboring in the garden but that's a LOT of labor.Adding to the above lists.....which are great by the way....
buckwheat
clover
cucumbers
And a patch of millet
My soil is awful so buckwheat, clover and millet as cover crops to help my soil and entertain the birds.
